Why Microsoft Sucks Part 1

I have been looking into Microsoft in comparison to other alternatives in the indistry of software and other computer products. I have found that microsoft truely "Sucks". O.K lets start off with the good things microsoft has done... There are not many but one that definitly stands out on my list is the XBox and the new XBox 360. I was very pleased with these products; they have phenomenal power and breath taking graphics. Aside from the XBox and XBox 360 i do not see anything productive from microsoft, that is why desktop versions of linux have been developed...to do everything microsoft sucks at (which is everything from security to speed). Here is a list of the major down falls i see in Microsoft:

1. Security
2. Malfunctionality
3. Very slow
4. Hides usefull processes from developers (AKA masked processes)

There are a few of the big ones. If there are any Mac/*nux users they will have noticed "hey this is cool i don't get virsures all the time" unlike when they work on the windows platform. This is because linux and other unix based system are not as suseptable as windows systems. I am hinting on the issue of security in the windows operating system. As developers/users might have experianced Windows has plenty of malfunctional software and a crappy design. Bill Gates philosophy on the design of Windows was: write crappy unorganized code, than write more crappy organized code to tie it together to get the product to the market faster. That is all have to rant and rave about Microsoft today...
